"Return of Possession held in Conception Bay 1805"

Pages 102 - 121

On August 21, 1804, in an effort to
help avoid frequent disputes regarding possession and rights of Fishing
Rooms, Beaches, Flakes and land, Governor Erasmus Gower issued an order
directing his Surrogates around the Island of Newfoundland to take an
exact account of all Fishing Rooms, Wharves, Beaches, Flakes, etc… within
200 yards from the High Water Mark and register them in a book. The claims
of every Merchant, Planter, and Boat Keeper to the land he occupied were
to be clearly defined. This official Register of Fishing Rooms was to be
admitted as evidence in all land claim disputes.

The following is a transcription of a surviving portion of Governor
Gower's "Plantations Book." The transcriptions were done in the same
format/style as was presented on the photocopies. Even though spelling and
punctuation in some entries had obvious mistakes, we have transcribed them
as they were in an effort to preserve the integrity of the original
document. Thus [sic] has not been added to any spelling mistake. There was
an instance where instead of Act Wm III, it was entered as Act Wm II and
even this was left as was. After the work was transcribed, it was proof
read and spaces were added between names in some of the transcriptions
(Thos.Brown would become Thos. Brown) and this only happened with two
people's transcriptions as everyone else added those spaces in.

Misc. Volume 13, Conception Bay Plantations Book - held at the Registry
of Deeds and Companies, Confederation Building, PO Box 8700 Stn A, St.
John's, NF A1B 4J6. Additional copies of CO 199.18 “Return of Possession
held in Conception Bay 1805” are available for viewing at: The Provincial
Archives of Newfoundland and Labrador, Colonial Bldg., Military Road, St.
